Football fan Melissa Sanchez won a place in a national virtual World Cup tournament after appearing on the BBC television show Risk.

A relative of Melissa, 12, of Combe, near Woodstock, had successfully applied for tickets and Melissa took part in the show and was a winner last week.

Among her prizes were a PlayStation, a football signed by top players, and the chance to compete with 31 other people aged up to 32 in the virtual tournament in London. Melissa, a pupil at the Marlborough School, Woodstock, said: "I was the only girl and the youngest.

"I didn't win, but it was great fun taking part."
